    Pictures surfaced on social media on Tuesday of the pair, with users suggesting they appeared drunk.
    No direct evidence, no first hand account, and the person who started the Twitter storm didn't even take the photo.

    Sorry, but what kind of universe have we stumbled into where investigations are carried out because Twits reckon something from looking at a picture?

    These blokes (they are almost always blokes) on Twitter are the same blokes you used to get down the pub, and happily laugh at when they said 'I reckon', followed by some right old tosh, but now it is on t'Interwebby it is suddenly worth taking seriously?

    It's time to nuke Twitter, and then go after Facebook.

    They had a team meeting the night before and were in the same clothes the next day when the photos were taken. Carroll then put some silly tweets up. So there is something too it.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Or there is nothing to it.

    I suggest you check out the original Twit and his comments.

    That's was so pathetic about this current social media obsession.

    It doesn't matter how much old nonsense it is, someone thinks it must be true, even when it is shown not to be.

    Twitter is mainly people spouting off. old nonsense.

    It isn't news, it isn't journalism, yet Twits get treated as though what they write is gospel.

    And people think Elf and Safety has gone mad!!!

    Err...

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question but why is them getting drunk a problem?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    If they had got drunk, which they hadn't...
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Well yes... but if they did, is it so bad? Do we need the press wringing their hands and a public stewards inquiry??
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Everybody loves a good outrage, suz.
  • cuzcuz
    they can drink the night before games for me as long as they perform on the pitch
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Suze

    Well, yes, of course!

    It's a disgrace.

    Think of the money they are on.

    I mean, that makes all the difference, doesn't it? ;whistle

    Otherwise they'd just be two blokes on their night off having a couple of sherberts, and where's the interest in that?

    I shall be in the Hole in the Wall in Waterloo with one of my mates when I'm over, in case anyone wants to start a Twitter storm over that.

    I could even provide my own pictures...

    Here's a clue as to why this is being made a big deal of: how many West Ham Fan Forum posts in the last hour have been about our form, or any relationship between us and the only England manager with a 100% win record?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That's the only England manager never to win a home match too.

    Gosh, we don't need any of these distractions. Why do these things haunt WHU?

    From the Beeb:

    But BBC Sport have spoken to the West Ham fan who started the Twitter rumours, and it's fair to say he's feeling a little sheepish that what started as a "joke" could have landed the players in hot water.

    "There were photos circulating on Twitter earlier on Tuesday, so I got it and put it up as a joke and what started as an innocent joke has just turned into them being party animals," said Aran Nichol.

    "I didn’t expect this at all, it was a joke."

    If only ;pray
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    I wonder how much of a joke people like Moron Nichol would think it if they started getting hit with defamation of character writs? ;hmm

    "Users suggesting they appeared drunk".

    The whole thing just annoys me. They can't control the ball, they can't pass the ball, they can't defend, they can't score. With all the money they earn are today's professional footballers unable to afford to go out and get properly wellied without having to put on an act.

    Bobby Moore "win or loose, on the booze".

    People need to adjust their outrage meters.

    That oops upside your head thing needs a little more coordination ;bowdown ;wahoo

    Ooh and if Randy was drinking, he's never let West Ham down. Although Andy Carrolls latest injury was tennis elbow caused by lifting too many pints. I should rush off to twitter to post it so everyone knows ;doh

    Excuse me for being self righteous but is this the same Andy Carroll who Slav said at a time when he was actually fit to play & scoring goals that he needed to sort out his social habits or something like that. I don't feel like going out on the pop as I have nothing to celebrate football wise at the moment I can't see how the players have either. Saturday will tell me if this alleged team bonding exercise has worked. .

    Not exactly, no.

    No one is suggesting they have anything to celebrate ... not sure what you are getting at there?

    I wasn't aware that team-bonding activities came with a guarantee of any sort. If, though, you are aware of specific types of activities that do, Please Please Please pass on to the club the relevant details coyi
